SECTION# NAME PRINT LAST NAME, FIRST NAME Suppose 9 workers can repair 36 television sets per day. If a tenth worker is hired and the each worker repairs, on average, 4 T.V. sets per day when nine workers are hired average product must be rising because the marginal product of the tenth worker 6. total number of repaired T.V. sets increases to 39, then: a. the marginal product of the tenth worker is 3.9 T.V, sets b. is greater than...
4. Dan needs to hire workers and use oven hours to cook and serve para. The production function is F(LK) 60VLVK, where Lis the hour of labor input and K is the hour of oven usage. Note that the marginal product of labor is 30VK/VL and the marginal product of capital is 30VL/VK. Suppose the cost of labor is given to be $10 per hour and the cost of capital is $10 per hour. In the long run, all inputs...
Suppose that each worker in Belgium can produce either 20 units of food per hour or 80 units of machinery per hour. At the same time, workers in France can produce either 15 units of food per hour or 30 units of machinery per hour. Choose a mutually advantageous world price ratio, if any exists, and explain why it improves the well-being of both trading parties. If none exists, explain why. Explain the consequences if the world price ratio was...
Question: A firm currently employs 40 production workers and 5 supervisors. The marginal product of the last production worker employed is 60 units of output per hour and production workers are paid $8 per hour. The marginal product of the last supervisor employed is 120 units of output per hour and supervisors are paid $20 per hour. Every employee works 40 hours per week. a) What is the firm's total labor cost per week? b) Assume that the firm's isoquants...

Assume that a firm has a fixed-proportions production function, in which one unit of output is produced using one worker and two units of capital. If the firm has an extra worker, say two workers, and no more capital, it still can produce only one unit of output. Similarly, an extra unit of capital does the firm no good.a) Draw the isoquants for this production function.b) Draw the total product, average product, and marginal product of labor curves (you will...
